The American Hospital Dubai Medical Laboratory has been accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) in the summer of 2001. The hospital was re-accredited again in years 2003 and 2005. In addition to the hospital being the first hospital to receive JCIA accreditation, the hospital is able to announce that it is the first private laboratory in the Middle East to receive this accreditation by the College of American Pathologists (CAP).

In June of 2001 inspectors, pathologists and other Laboratory personnel examined the records and quality control of the laboratory for the preceding two years, as well as the education and qualification of staff, the adequacy of the facilities, the equipment, laboratory safety, and management to evaluate the service provision to patients.

The College of American Pathologists is a medical society serving about 16,000 physician members and the laboratory community throughout the world. The goal of the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is to improve the quality of clinical laboratory services through, professional peer review, education, and compliance with established performance standards.
